Elliott

Seeking First the Kingdom

Larry and Jean Elliott were long-time missionaries with the International Mission Board, who first considered the nations while living in Cary, NC. Larry graduated with an MDiv from Southeastern Seminary in 1978 while Jean pursued a year of biblical training at Southeastern to prepare for the mission field. After serving as missionaries in Honduras for 25 years, the Elliotts obeyed God’s call to advance the cause of Christ in war-torn Iraq, where after only a few weeks of ministry, they were tragically killed in 2004. The Elliott’s example of courageous faith, missional faithfulness, and joyful sacrifice inspire the Church to persevere in its mission and make disciples wherever God leads.
